OANST 01-07-2010 02:25 PM

Rock-Hard Election!

Because you know it is.

Pilot 01-07-2010 07:49 PM

Thank you, OANST. I knew I could count on you.

MeechMunchie 01-08-2010 07:49 AM

I still like this one.

5. And lastly, perphaps one of the saddest moments in OWF history, when the forum split in 2002, and the conclusion. Sorry if I pick any 4-year old scabs open with this, shit happens after all, and no-one's upset over this anymore. :P (rofl, someone lied blatantly:"- Dark Hood posted 'ere for the last time ever ~ 8/19/02 01.22am GMT")

Heh, I remember making a farewell topic as well. I had been away from the board for some time, but I was still pretty shaken by what happened as well, so I joined the others at the Glass Asylum.

For anyone who's interested, I've got some screenshots of it's various designs. It went through a ridiculous number of redesigns during its brief existence. These are low-quality versions - the originals were too large to upload.

Notes on the designs
#1 - Original design. The one element that stayed through all designs was the flower.
#2 - Nobody liked this design. It didn't stay long.
#3 - I've actually nothing interesting to say about this one.

There was also a fourth, circus-styled design. After that the board disappeared for a while. Then Sydney brought it back with a... colourful design, after which TGA vanished forever.

Some of the old regulars can actually still be found at The Church of Pokey (formerly The Stonage Repository).

That second design is so so so badass

Pilot 03-28-2010 11:50 PM

Thanks for posting that CP.

Cool Paramite 03-29-2010 12:22 AM

You're welcome, Pilot.

Just so you know, I'm no longer bitter about the whole mess. But for posterity's sake, here's my stance on what happened:

I do understand the reasoning behind revoking Sydney's administrator rights - she was being unneccesarily harsh toward certain members. But the OWF is just an online forum, not a country or a even a town whose inhabitants you have to protect. Just a forum. And it did belong to Sydney after all, dictatorial behavior or not.

Anyway, I am not bitter anymore. I stopped being bitter years ago, because, well, it's just an online forum after all. However, I still do find the decisions made back then somewhat distasteful.

In fact, I am happy to see that OWF still survives, while The Glass Asylum has long ago turned to dust. It was the first online forum that I ever joined, ans it still has a special place in my heart.

...Just don't go looking up my old posts, 'mkay? I was a young idiot back then...

EDIT: I'm gone again, this time for real. You can click the banner in my signature for my final message (Largely the same as this one - it's all my thoughts about this in one place). Farewell and good luck to all.

Cool Paramite, signing off one last time.

That was needlessly dramatic. Jesus Christ.

Strike Witch 03-29-2010 06:09 PM

Waaaah Waaah Waaaaaaaaaah

OANST 03-30-2010 10:00 AM

You made Strike Witch cry. You bastard.

Ughuu.... so.... how is that working for you Strike?

Pilot 04-13-2010 07:53 PM

You know what was a classic? That thing Leto posted that got him banned. Good times.

...where is that, can someone post a link?

Nate 04-14-2010 12:24 AM

So now we're including non-existant, imaginary Classics? This is a worrying development.

In-jokes are still classics, you ham. :D

STM 04-29-2010 09:56 AM

I never saw that but want to, please do add the old post =.

Nate 04-29-2010 03:45 PM

Go back to my last post. Read it again. Read it a third time. Realise that such a thing is impossible. Relax.

Stranger4002 07-25-2010 05:37 AM

I must say; I found the Jacking Off thread to be very humorous. :P

Pilot 08-26-2010 09:08 PM

DAMN U GAYLOT!!

back when OANST was Old And Not So Tasty, and when strike witch was Ghost with megatron avatar, those were the days.

OANST 08-27-2010 06:22 AM

I keep forgetting that you were Buttercup.

Wings of Fire 08-27-2010 06:34 AM

Was that before or after OANST turned over a new leaf?

OANST 08-27-2010 06:35 AM

That was before leaves.

I'll just drop this in the bucket.

STM 09-24-2010 08:52 AM

How about Sligs Weird, remember that?

Phylum 09-24-2010 04:34 PM

If you think it's a classic, post a link to it. I haven't read it, but I'm posting a link anyway because I'm in a good mood.

There's a link in MA's sig, too.

I have just read over that, and Have decided that the only way to get around you OANST.... is to go super troll, like I used to be.

Nate 09-30-2010 09:06 PM

In case it's not obvious, this thread is a merge of several threads created by the same person.
